JerMc, be aware that the Parkway is closed beyond Mount Mitchell resulting in a fairly substantial detour. you'll have to get off in Asheville and take I-40 for a ways to get around it. Call the Parkway info line for the details on the northern extent of the closure as I'm not too sure about it right now.


Mithral, welcome to Xmarks! It's great to see another Ashevillian here, and I'm awfully glad that I'm not the only one to wear the kilt at AB Tech! I teach there every Monday and Wednesday evening.
I've got school the next day too. I usualy pack it in around 9:00, so that shouldn't be a problem for a young sprout like yourself.

Randy, there is a Celtic jam session at the pub every Sunday evening (5-9 or so) that is well worth attending. Usually lots of very talented local musicians attend. That's why I only go on Sundays...the rest of the week is pretty well bluegrass and southern rock.

Freedomlover...If your truck is still on the fritz I'll come get you....no, wait, gas is $3.00 a gallon...I'll just print your avatar and set it on the bar.
